What statement BEST summarizes the irony of the picture chiseled on the speaker's tombstone?
A) The speaker died by drowning.
B) He fell in love during his life.
C) The picture describes the peace the dead speaker now feels.
D) The picture should represent his death but instead represents his life.

what are the statements

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
